Given:

Clare has $150 in her bank account. She buys a bike for $200 .

Determine the amount balance in Clares account.

Solution:

Since the price of the bike is more than the account balance of Clare, we can assume that her bank account has a negative value, although since bank account cannot go pass 0, except for loans  and debts, and it is not stated whether Clare have taken a loan. Therefore we can state that the account balance $0

=$100 - $150

= -$50

Final answer:
= $0
